vantage was not held and New England

afternoon when Union Pacific suddenly
became active and strong and in the next
two hours the entire list moved

hour the rise was again resumed, and the
close was quiet though strong at the best
figures of the day. The result of

ysnces are in a few cases for more than

The HERALD hopes that the move
of Dallas citizens to secure one-cent-
annie rate and schedule which will
put visitors here in the early morning
and carry them home in the evening
will succeed. The plan has been prac-
ticed in other large cities, and was
found to be a great convenience to the
country people, an advantage to the
trade of the city,-and profitable to
the roads.

the Baptist Herald. In it, yester-
days Issue The News, which had
previously given Mr.. Briggs more
than he blrgained for. turned upon
the llersld and administered almost
as severe wallupiug.
The dispute between Briggs and
The News is y highly interesting one,
since the whole matter turned upon a
question OF veracity between Mr. Briggs
and u local stenographer of The New,
Many years ago the Rev. Briggs

fore he became editor ofthe Advocate

delivered u lecture or some sort of
address. Abiding to believers in
niger ollism, Mr. Briggs made use OF
the expression that the chatter and
the dungeon" should be employed ID
these cases. At least this was shown
by the short hand notes of the repor-
ter. But it was subsequently deniei
by Briggs. Alter beiog almost for
gotten the MISTER is again revived. II
is but justice to The News TO say it
has established every point in the
controversy, leaving Mr.. Briggs in
rather COMPROMISED position The
Herald comes to the rescue OF It's
